Chapter 3355 3367 [Sister Taste! ] Ask for monthly ticket (づど)
When a mini lone wolf plots to protect innocent classmates.
In the bedroom.
After Haibara Ai took the medicine prescribed by Dr. Shinde, her high fever subsided, but she still had a low fever intermittently and was in very poor spirits.
She vaguely heard the sound of the door opening and closing. She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw Jiang Xia holding a bowl of porridge and walking to the bedside.
"I..." Haibara Ai originally wanted to say that she was not hungry now and would eat later, but when she saw the golden egg custard in the bowl, she paused and hesitated.
I don’t know why, but this egg porridge looks strangely familiar.
...Although egg porridge has simple ingredients and looks almost the same no matter how it is made, she still sat up unconsciously, took the bowl from Jiang Xia, held it on her lap, and observed it carefully with a frown.
The porridge was a little hot, but the high temperature was transmitted through the thick porcelain bowl and turned into just the right warmth.
After watching for a few seconds, Haibara Ai's appetite was quietly aroused. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the spoon and took a tentative bite.
The cold made her sense of smell and taste a little dull, but somehow, Haibara Ai still felt that she tasted a familiar flavor.
She was a little bit incredulous. She first subconsciously looked outside the bedroom, then looked back at Jiang Xia: "Did you cook this porridge?"
Just now she heard Jiang Xia in the living room saying that she wanted to cook porridge. Kudo seemed to have tried to stop her, but failed.
Jiang Xia nodded and mentioned a fact that had nothing to do with the current situation: "Before making the porridge, I went to Xiaolan to ask for her secret recipe." But it was completely useless.
"Mouri?" Haibara Ai remembered the gentle high school girl who had just brought her porridge not long ago.
She had always felt that Mao Lilan was somewhat like her sister, especially when she turned her back to her, her long hair fluttering in the wind made her want to hug her nostalgically... But now, even the secret recipe for cooking porridge was so similar?
Fate is truly wonderful...
In addition, Jiang Xia was able to make such delicious porridge just by listening to the secret recipe. Is it true that geniuses are geniuses no matter what they do?
…
When Haibara Ai was admiring the bowl of porridge with emotion.
In the distance, the person she was talking about, Ran Mouri, was in a convenience store, comforting a female classmate who was crying in her arms.
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the four brand new surveillance cameras in the convenience store and was speechless for a moment.
However, she still didn't believe that Nanakawa Xuan would steal anything from the store. She turned to the store manager and said, "Even if it wasn't stolen during business hours, it doesn't necessarily mean it was stolen by an employee. Maybe a thief came in after you closed the store."
The store manager snorted, "Why would a thief go to so much trouble to break into a store just to steal a few odds and ends?
"And I've already thought of what you said. In order to catch the thief, I hid in a car in the parking lot last night and waited all night.
"Then I saw that when it was time to get off work, Nanakawa closed the shutter door and left. After that, until the next morning, no one else entered or left my shop.
"I went to the warehouse to count the inventory and found that the goods were missing again. However, the number was exactly the same before we stopped operating yesterday. Who else could the thief be except Qichuan?"
Nanakawa Xuanya felt she had no way to defend herself, but with her classmates backing her up, she didn't just accept the scolding like she had just done. Instead, she said firmly, "I didn't steal anything from the store!"
Suzuki Sonoko looked to the left, then to the right, and fell into deep thought for a moment: She believed Xiao Xuan, but on the other hand, the manager didn't seem to be lying... So where did the things go?
No one approached the store last night, so could it be that some trained animal sneaked into the store and stole things?
"Oh, this is such a headache." She muttered softly, "If only I had met Jiang Xia on the way here, otherwise..."
She was just about to ask Jiang Xia if he was free now.
However, before he could open his mouth, he heard Teacher Judy ask the store manager like a detective: "What exactly was lost in your store?"
"Hmm?" Suzuki Sonoko glanced at her in surprise. Why was Teacher Judy so active today? If I remembered correctly, she didn't seem to like talking much in previous cases.
Judy saw Suzuki Sonoko's hand move away from the phone out of the corner of her eye and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Judy: "..." Although Jiang Xia is polite, solves cases quickly, and has saved her, a senior suspect, from danger many times...but who made Jiang Xia's detective ability so outstanding that he was targeted by that hateful cadre?
Right now, things are just being thrown away in the store, but what if Jiang Xia comes and Wu Zuo also comes to join in the fun, and eventually turns this place into a bloody convenience store?
On the contrary, it was not that she was afraid of Wu Zuo, but she did not want that evil guy to harm these innocent people.
In addition, the capture net for Vermouth is about to be tightened. At this juncture, it is best not to cause trouble.
…
On the other side, the store manager had no idea what was going on in the foreign teacher's head.
When someone asked him about this, he complained bitterly: "There are so many things lost - game software, DVDs, and even Yoko Yoko's album.
"Also, there are cheap things, like bento boxes, rice balls, mineral water, oolong tea, cola, chocolate, and various snacks...
"From the sound of these things being lost, I can tell what happened. It must be a group of young people playing games, listening to music, and eating snacks from my shop..."
As he described it, the two high school girls' minds slowly conjured up the corresponding images: "..." It's quite reasonable! This is indeed one of their usual ways of relaxing. This middle-aged store manager with a stern face surprisingly understands young people.
No, no, that's not the point. The point is...
"Just because a young person stole something, it doesn't mean that Xiao Xuan is the murderer! There are so many young people in Tokyo!"
Suzuki Sonoko gestured vigorously and said, "Besides, if it was really Xiaoxuan who took the things, the surveillance camera would have captured her. According to what you said, you shouldn't have seen her take the things directly."
"Surveillance isn't running 24 hours a day," the store manager frowned. "Saving costs is important. Before leaving get off work, I'll have my employees turn off all the necessary power. If Qichuan doesn't turn off the power before taking anything, then nothing will be captured."
Judy suddenly realized: "No wonder your warehouse is so dark, it turns out you're trying to save on electricity."
She really values money over life. In such a dark place, she wouldn't be surprised if Wuzo stuffed 10 corpses in it...
Mao Lilan's focus was elsewhere. She pointed to the small door opposite the warehouse door and said, "That's the restroom, right? There's no light on outside. Won't your employees trip when they go to the restroom?"
